    Abstract At Mount Etna volcano, the focus point of persistent tectonic extension is represented by the Summit Craters. A muographic telescope has been installed at the base of the North-East Crater from August 2017 to October 2019, with the specific aim to find time related variations in the density of volcanic edifice. The results are significant, since the elaborated images show the opening and evolution of different tectonic elements; in 2017, a cavity was detected months before the collapse of the crater floor and in 2018 a set of underground fractures was identified, at the tip of which, in June 2019, a new eruptive vent started its explosive activity, still going on (February, 2020). Although this is the pilot experiment of the project, the results confirm that muography could be a turning point in the comprehension of the plumbing system of the volcano and a fundamental step forward to do mid-term (weeks/months) predictions of eruptions. We are confident that an increment in the number of telescopes could lead to the realization of a monitoring system, which would keep under control the evolution of the internal dynamic of the uppermost section of the feeding system of an active volcano such as Mount Etna.

    Abstract In a recent paper, the authors discussed the feasibility study of an innovative technique based on the directionality of Cherenkov light produced in a transparent material to improve the signal to noise ratio in muon imaging applications. In particular, the method was proposed to help in the correct identification of incoming muons direction. After the first study by means of Monte Carlo simulations with Geant4, the first reduced scale prototype of such a detector was built and tested at the Department of Physics and Astronomy "E. Majorana" of the University of Catania (Italy). The characterization technique is based on muon tracking by means of the prototype in coincidence with two scintillating tiles. The results of this preliminary test confirm the validity of the technique and stressed the importance to enhance the Cherenkov photons production to get a signal well distinguishable with respect to sensors and electronic noise.

    Abstract The eruption of the Hunga-Tonga volcano in the South Pacific Ocean on January 15, 2022, at about 4:15 UTC, generated a violent explosion, which created atmospheric pressure disturbances in the form of Rayleigh-Lamb waves detected all over the globe. Here we discuss the observation of the Hunga-Tonga shock-wave performed at the Ny-Ålesund Research Station on the Spitsbergen island, by the detectors of the PolarquEEEst experiment and their ancillary sensors. Online pressure data as well as the results of dedicated offline analysis are presented and discussed in details. Results include wave arrival times, wave amplitude measurements and wave velocity calculation. We observed five passages of the shock wave with a significance larger than 3 [Formula: see text] and an amplitude up to 1 hPa. The average propagation velocity resulted to be (308 ± 0.6) m/s. Possible effects of the atmospheric pressure variation associated with the shock-wave multiple passages on the cosmic-ray rate at ground level are also investigated. We did not find any significant evidence of this effect.

    Abstract The Authors examine possible connections between the schizophrenic syndrome and the hypothalamo-pituitary-gonadal system, assuming that hormonal impairments may correlate with the appearance and development of peculiar behavioral features. The hormonal status and the behavioral parameters have been examined before, during and after a psychopharmacological therapy, and a combination of a psychopharmacological-hormonal treatment. Data have been obtained in 12 male hebephrenic schizophrenics, aged 18-36 years, with onset of the disease between 12 months and 20 years before our experiments. The patients were treated for 30 days with Haloperidol (6 mg.i.m.p.d. to a total dose of 180 mg.) and then for 45 days with Haloperidol at the same dose in combination with Chorionic Gonadotrophin (5000 I.U.i.m. twice a week for a total dose of 60.000 I.U.). The following hormonal assays were performed: total urinary gonadotrophins, serum FSH and LH, total urinary 17 ketosteroids, total urinary estrogens, serum testosterone. The hormonal assays were performed twice prior to therapy, twice during the Haloperidol therapy (12th and 26th days) twice during the Haloperidol plus HCG therapy (20th and 40th day) and 1 month after the withdrawal of the therapy. The psychological-behavioral parameters were examined through the Wittenborn Rating Scale. The result obtained seem to reveal a stimulatory effect of the Haloperidol plus HCG therapy on the deficient hormonal status. Moreover, it is evident that a constant correlation exists between biochemical improvement and behavioral improvement, especially in regard to affectivity disorders, adjustment to reality, active behavior.

    Abstract GnRH stimulation tests were performed in 15 adult male chronic hebephrenic schizophrenics and 15 oligophrenic controls, matched for age and length of hospitalization. GnRH was given at doses of 50, 100 and 150 gamma to five subjects of each type, and FSH and LH levels in the blood were assayed at 0, 10, 20, 30, 60, and 90 minutes. The tests were performed twice in schizophrenics off therapy and after 10, 20 and 30 days of chlorpromazine therapy (4 mg/kg body weight/day, per os). The controls were not given chlorpromazine and were tested only twice. Schizophrenics showed relative increases in both FSH and LH which were greater than those of the controls, and the response persisted longer. Chlorpromazine had no effect on the test.
